We reported yesterday Sony is expected to unveil its next Xperia tablet at Mobile World Congress 2015 trade fair. A teasing image with a few details appeared briefly inside Xperia Lounge application, but it was quickly pulled by Sony.

It's clear that the Japanese company will launch the Xperia Z4 tablet next week, but Sony's presences at MWC 2015 will much more consistent than this so we expect more devices to be announced there, other than the tablet. We don't expect Sony to launch another flagship smartphone anytime soon, especially that the company confirmed it will only release on top-tier handset each year, but we do expect it to announce a few mid-range and/or entry-level devices next week. One such devices would be the newly leaked Xperia M4 Aqua, which has just been spotted online. XperiaBlog reports this smartphone has been recently mentioned in some official documents, alongside the Xperia Z4 Tablet.

Xperia M4 Aqua may not be the only smartphone to be unveiled next week

Unfortunately, few details on the Sony's unannounced smartphone are mentioned in these documents, but once word on Xperia M4 Aqua emerged online we expect more info to leak in the coming days. Until then though, here is what we know. It looks like Sony Xperia M4 Aqua will feature IP65/IP68 certification for dust and water protection. But this was to be expected due to the name given by Sony. It's also worth mentioning the smartphone will ship with Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system out of the box. Other than that there are no other details on the Xperia M4 Aqua.

We can also safely assume that this will be a mid-range Android smartphone not a high-end device. Beside the Xperia M4 Aqua, Sony may introduce other smartphones as well, so stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
